William's family history is given in "A Family of the Bagaduce: The Ancestry and Genealogy of William Conner, Jr....," by Albert E. Myers (Harrisburg, PA, 1976). His middle name is Henry per plaque under his portrait in the Wilson Museum, Castine,
Maine; this plaque notes that Capt. Conner sailed clipper ships to the West Indies and other ports, and later sailed to the Grand Banks. He is not to be confused with person of the same name in coastal Waldo County, Maine. The ship William H. Conner,
built in Searsport, was named for this other William H. Conner, who d. 13 Sept 1875 at age 57, resident of Belfast, ME, merchant and shipbuilder (m. Caroline R. Porter 22 Sept 1839, she d. 13 Sept 1875) - the ship was the largest and last full-rigged
ship built at Searsport [launched in June, 1877, 210' long, 40' beam, 24' depth, 1496 tons]. A fine description of fishing on the Grand Banks under sail is given in Chapter 26 of "Coastal Maine: A Maritime History," Roger F. Duncan (New York:
W.W.Norton, 1992). Also see "Maine Sea Fisheries: The Rise and Fall of a Native Industry, 1830-1890," by Wayne M. O'Leary (Boston: Northeastern University Press). By 1860 Castine was the wealthiest town in Maine, due to its fishing fleet.
